Being a sacrifice to the gods might seem glamourous untill you realize the fucker holding the knife is Jeff Bezos ensuring another record high year of sales.

Nice looking, using animations to stagger movement/inputs is very souls like, does it stagger on every damage type or have you considered a poise system? For smaller damage sources separating damage anim between full body and only upper body might be a good idea.

As a game developer I can confidently say that the feeling doesn't go away. It is an effect of the modern "achievement society" where any time not spent entrepreneuring yourself is perceived as wasted even if it isn't true.

real nice, personally know how difficoult cling-jump mechanics can be to make them both look good and feel good, the animator in the projekt i had ended up with a very quick and snappy animation since our game handled multiple quick walljumps.

Ah in a symmetrical setup its a bit more difficoult but one thing ive seen that kinda works is to remove linnear leveling and handle stat uppgrades and new moves like sidegrades or specializations making the average power of any 2 combatants equal stat-wise. basically give everyone lvl 100 mons

As someone who skipped Sunday I can't justify me pulling her but I'm happy for ya

That depends on so many other systems and decisions, games like darkest dungeon are resource based so the power of the team goes down the longer the fight goes on. For jrpg style a common method is to use elite style mobs that generate smaller mobs and have round based enrage mechanics.

"if you have to sacrifice all my friends to survive then maybe it's time for a change"

Is this a reference to a game or are you living a much more interesting life than the rest of us?

I'm not entirely sure about the validity of that statement, it's true that action heavy games (apex,lol etc) will have a higher profit and playercount but in almost every other metric story-centric games reign supreme (bg3,Witcher 3,rdr3) they just don't have the same longevity since stories end.

It's always interesting with these doomsday gauges how often they are on the brink of "worst case scenario" while never truly arriving there. When will the coup be in effect? What will be the straw that breaks the camel's back? And is there a website where I could place a bet on how it will happen?

I based the shader on this tutorial if anyone wants to make a similar effect: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P33...
